Directly behind the steering wheel. You have to remove the wheel to access it. Beware of the air bag. you must remove power to it before you do anything to the steering wheel

YOU WILL NEED THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THIS FOR SURE.

This could be due to improper wheel alignment or worn suspension or steering components. It may also be due to odd tyre fitment. Check those first.

Turn the Key OVER and see if you can rotate it then.

Are your Wheels turned HARD and the Steering Wheel Locked?
Are your Wheels against a CURB and not allowing the Steering Wheel to rotate to remove the Locking Mechanism to go freely?

Lock it (it is under the Steering Coulmn

check your power steering: for leaks and also the tightness of the belt. More then likely the belt or the pulley on the power steering is the problem, Tim

try wiggling the steering wheel while you try to tuen the key. SOmetimes, the steering wheel lock is binding in the slot on the steering wheel.

Jack up one side at a time and get a big bar or a strong 2x4, lift the wheel, have somebody lift while you peek at the inside and see if you can see something loose, grab the wheel and shake it left and right, It should tell you something, If, not, try the other side, Something gotta be clinking in there somewhere. You don't need a socket to get the bearing nut off, it is not tight, it is snugged up and then backed off, If it were put on tight, It would overheat in a few miles and smoke you out of the car and weld itself to the spindle/ axle, which ever you have there, most front drive cars don't have front end problems like 2 wheel drive cars, but they do have bearing problems. Hope this helps.

in order to accomplish this you have to take the programmed steering position out of the loop. in order to do this y7ou have to install a relay that only activates the when the vehicle is in bypass.when you use the auto start it sends a signal to the alarm to bypass however the steering also gets a pulse you have to seperate the steering circuit from the bypass loop. pulling a fuse won't do the trick . you need a multimeter a relay, piggy back connecters and some wire. you are going to have to use different color wire perferably black white orange and purple so you can clearly identify your circuits. tryinging to keep the steering in one position is not feasiable because it's memory orientated and there for has a link in the ecm and can't be tampered with due to safety issues
